Boucherville | A man who was riding a gyroroue dies after being hit by a car

(Boucherville) A man on a gyroroue succumbed to his injuries Thursday afternoon after colliding with a car in Boucherville, in Montérégie, in the morning.


The victim, a man in his forties, found himself in a difficult position under the vehicle, explains Mélanie Mercille, spokesperson for the Longueuil agglomeration police service (SPAL).

The man was taken to hospital, where he was confirmed dead a few hours later.

The driver of the car, a woman in her fifties, was treated for nervous shock, says SPAL.

The SPAL specifies that it launched an intervention around 7:10 a.m. at the intersection of Boulevard de Mortagne and Rue Ampère following the accident.

Traffic, blocked for a few hours, has been restored.

A gyrowheel is a one-wheeled vehicle equipped with side supports for the feet. It advances according to the inclination of the driver’s body.
